Square Room Showcase 9: Thursday, November 13th

Oh heck yeah, y'all. We're adding a little twang to The Square Room Showcase. Come out on Thursday, November 13th to see some Southern country and roots music from Crab Apple Lane, Matthew Hickey, Burton Knight, and Stephen Hunley! Here's a preview of what's in store:

This show was special. I am constantly finding myself surprised at how crazy good and how deep the musical talent pool is here in Knoxville, and the last Square Room Showcase was a perfect illustration of that. Allow me to take this one more opportunity to tell you to first of all, see any and all of these guys live whenever the chance arises. Also, if you don't want to miss out on the best music that Knoxville has to offer, get yourself down to The Square Room when we put on these showcases. The next one is on Thursday, November 13th, and we'll announce the lineup soon.

Last month at The Square Room showcase, someone was nice enough to take a video of The Squirrel Skins covering "I Don't Trust Myself With Loving You" from John Mayer's album, Continuum. We don't normally post cell phone videos, but since it's acoustic, the sound is okay, and more importantly, it shows a little taste of how fun a Squirrel Skins live set is.

The Squirrel Skins are coming, whether you're ready or not. Keep an eye out for them playing shows around town. They'll be playing at Vienna Coffee House in Maryville with Zack Miles on November 21st.

Square Room Showcase 8: Wednesday, October 22nd

We are really excited about this one. Come get down with us at The Square Room on Wednesday, October 22nd!! Doors open at 7pm, and the music starts at 8pm. These are four Knoxville acts that you don't want to sleep on, I promise.

We have Ben Gaines who has been a Knoxville music scene veteran and has been making some really rad tunes lately. Josiah Atchley will be the first artist to play The Square Room Showcase for a second time. He's that good. We have a soulful dude that moved here from Chicago named Chris Mathien, and I can not wait for you all to hear him. And Justin Harmon rounds out the lineup with some cool, bluesy sounds.

We are overjoyed to announce that The Square Room Showcase has been picked up for another season! We'll be back in the fall getting more of Knoxville's best musical talents on stage in one of the best sounding rooms around. Stay tuned for dates, times, announcements, and even chances to win some free tickets.

The Square Room Showcase has taken a brief hiatus over the summer, but we plan to come back strong in the fall. For the time being we wanted to leave you with some of the best pictures from the first season (1 - 6) of showcases including pictures from photographers like Megan Lange, Bob Adamcik, JOYO Creative, and Devon Sheah Photography.

We won't spam you. Promise. What we will do is announce the lineup for the next show two weeks out and send you a reminder the Monday before. And we'll also give you opportunities to win some free tickets!
